As difficult as this whole situation is for him to grasp right now and as much trouble as he's having coming to terms with it, it's hard not to be happy to see Fern again after everything.

"I just got here less than an hour ago, I think?" he says. "This place is called Trench, right? It seems - livelier? Than Deerington ever did. There's a lot more people here at least."
